The closest places to park, when you are planning to spend less than two hours at Project Literacy:

There is FREE two-hour parking along Lawrence Avenue, east of Richter Street and Leon Avenue, east of Richeter Street. These areas are both roughly three minute walks to PLCOS.

Bear in mind that once you have reached the two-hour limit you must move your car to another block. Meter attendants scan your license plate when they pass by so if they find you anywhere within the same block for more than two hours they will ticket you.
